In the modern world, a balcony has become a full-fledged space for work and relaxation rather than a place for storing items or drying laundry. With a designer's creativity, you can transform even a small loggia into a cozy corner. The use of modern materials can protect wall finishes from intense sunlight, high humidity, mold growth, and temperature fluctuations.

What materials can be used to finish balcony walls?

Today, panels, decorative plaster, and other materials are particularly popular. Let’s explore these options in this article.

Popular Wall Finishing Options

Panels: Plastic, Wood, Stone, or Marble Imitation

These are perfect for finishing the walls of both open and enclosed balconies. Plastic panels are resistant to moisture and UV rays, which is crucial for open balconies. They are easy to clean, do not fade, and maintain an attractive appearance for a long time.

Wooden panels add warmth and coziness to a balcony. Special protective treatments against moisture and sunlight extend the lifespan of these surfaces.

Panels imitating stone or marble bring an elegant and sophisticated style to your balcony. They replicate the textures of natural materials but are lighter in weight and more affordable. These panels complement modern interiors beautifully and are easy to install and maintain.

Decorative Plaster

Decorative plaster is an ideal material for creating a cozy space on a balcony or loggia. With it, you can design unique wall finishes, featuring effects like natural stone, concrete, metallic, rust, weathered walls, or sand.

This material is highly resistant to temperature fluctuations and humidity, making it especially suitable for balconies. It retains its original appearance for a long time. In Elf Decor's catalog, you’ll find products like Grotto, Travertino Style, Marmorino Style, Art Stone, Toscana, which make spaces not just aesthetically pleasing but functional as well.

If your balcony is particularly humid and you want to avoid redoing the finish in a couple of years, we recommend Elfloor quartz flooring. This product is easy to apply to both vertical and horizontal surfaces and can be tinted to your desired shade.

Wall Painting

Paint is another great option for balcony walls. A wide color palette allows you to choose any shade you prefer and repaint the walls easily if needed.

Paint with sun-protective properties will effectively prevent walls from fading, which is especially important for sun-facing balconies. High-quality paint designed for humid spaces protects walls from moisture and mold.

Self-Adhesive Film

This is a convenient option for those who want to quickly refresh their balcony walls with minimal financial investment. One of its main advantages is ease of use—you can apply the film yourself without any special skills.

Manufacturers offer a wide variety of textures and colors, such as wood, stone, or metal imitation, with glossy or matte finishes. The film is resistant to moisture, dirt, and temperature changes, requires no special care, and damaged areas can be easily replaced.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper is suitable for decorating the interiors of enclosed balconies and loggias. Vinyl and non-woven wallpapers are resistant to moisture and sunlight, easy to clean, but it’s essential to prepare the walls with a special primer and let it dry thoroughly.

Photowallpaper is another interesting option for creating a relaxing area on the balcony. Choose patterns and themes that harmoniously match the space.

Wooden Cladding

This is an excellent option for those seeking a natural and eco-friendly look for their loggia walls. Wooden cladding provides good ventilation, preventing mold formation. When coated with varnish, it resists fading and retains its appealing appearance for a long time.
